One Dollar Lie Detector Kit

The sales and reaction to my first book have been fantastic and flattering. To those that have already purchased a copy, THANK YOU! If you haven’t yet, please feel free to look over this website. Dog Gone Dog is the first book in a series of middle grade detective books aimed for students from 3rd to 8th grade. The book contains two parts: the story and Dewey’s Detective Manual. The story is about Dewey and his friend Ched starting a detective agency in hopes of getting the $10,000 reward money for the mayor’s missing dog. Things are not what they seem and the two boys get in over their heads, all while having homework and to be home in time for dinner. Throughout the story, Dewey makes different spy gadgets out of common and inexpensive items. He writes the directions on how to do this in his AKA Detective Manual, the second part. The book can be purchase from www.amazon.com, www.bn.com, or an autographed copy from this website.

There is one project that is not made from common or inexpensive items—The Interrogator 3000 lie detector. This one is a fun, simple project, so I included it. I have built this project with children as young as second grade. It’s a great way to explore any curiosity about electronics.

Unfortunately, the parts can get to be expensive at some places. That’s why, as a show of thanks, I’m offering lie detector essentials kits for ONLY ONE DOLLAR!! That’s right, you can have your own homemade lie detector for the price of a can of boring beans, a few stale gumballs that lose their flavor in 36 seconds, or some weird misshaped “chicken” nuggets at a fast food place. That’s a deal!!

This kit contains a paper circuit board and the five components needed to make a lie detector. This is where the bulk of the cost comes from. To complete the project, you will need a 9V battery, a battery clip, a speaker, some wire, and two paperclips. If you’re looking to purchase everything (except the 9V battery) the whole kit is on sale right now for $10 on my website.

There is two ways you can purchase this. Either through my website, where you will have to pay shipping and handling charges, or by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Please make sure you follow these directions carefully...

First you’re going to write your address on a standard #10 envelope as the person receiving the letter (in the center). Please also add 71 cents worth of stamps to this envelope. Do not seal it. Do not add a return address. Now place this envelope and one dollar (a check is fine, too) inside another envelope (size doesn’t matter). This envelope should be addressed to…

Dewey Mac LabsPO Box 470Chalfont, PA18914

The envelope addressed to Dewey Mac Labs should be sealed, stamped, and sent to me. When I receive it, I’ll put your lie detector kit into the inside envelope and send it your way. If you want more than one kit, just send the appropriate amount. You can get up to three kits per envelope.
